Product Overview

If you’re working with PVC, cellulose-based coatings or certain adhesive systems, you’ve likely come across cyclohexanone as a recommended solvent. It’s a selective, powerful ketone solvent with exceptional solvency for polymers that resist other solvents – and it’s genuinely hard to find in consistent supply in Pakistan.
ISL Chemicals stocks cyclohexanone specifically because our customers in Sialkot’s sports goods and leather sector have asked for it. When your production process requires it, you need a supplier who has it – not one who says they can ‘arrange’ it.
It dissolves PVC, PU and certain cellulose nitrate systems at concentrations where other solvents fail. Its moderate evaporation rate gives formulators more working time than acetone or ethyl acetate, which is important in adhesive and coating applications where open time matters.

Handling & Safety Information

⚠️
Important Safety Notice Cyclohexanone is a flammable liquid. Vapours may cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat and may cause headache and dizziness in high concentrations. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. Avoid prolonged skin contact and inhalation of vapours.
  • Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry area
  • Keep in a well-ventilated warehouse away from heat sources
  • Store away from oxidising agents and strong acids
  • Keep away from ignition sources and open flames
  • Recommended storage temperature below 30°C
  • Use grounded containers to prevent static build-up
  • Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene)
  • Safety goggles or splash guard
  • Adequate ventilation or organic vapour respirator
  • Protective clothing to minimise skin exposure
  • Avoid prolonged skin contact and inhalation
  • Consult Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling
